If I'm poor I'm still indirectly exposed through the stock market. Employers stock goes down I get fired. Employer has better robotics because of AI? I get fired. Datacenter wants to get built where land is cheap? I get evicted. Just because I'm too poor to own stocks doesn't mean stock prices don't affect me. That's indirect exposure not direct exposure. | ||||||||

People who are poor still have to participate in the economy. When you have a trillion dollar bet not pan out, somehow your minimum wage job no matter what it is, will be impacted because that’s what a recession does. | ||||||||

You don’t like computers? Because these corporations are pushing up computer prices, for the rich and poor alike. | ||||||||
